I came back for a week and a half before classes started in August and made some progress.
First, pulled it into garage.

OEM 2-bolt shortblock came out with the rest of the engine, as did the OEM 5-spd, along with shifter cables and base, driveshaft, and rear diff.

Check out how close the weak 1g 18-spline output shaft was from stripping!

Then, Mr. House welded up the old engine out of the VR-4, and it went in, along with a 6spd tranny & tc, driveshaft, diff, and shifter cables. Also check out some of the carnage from the wreck.
Tranny reverse bolt ear went back on:

Current problems:
-I had to convert the harness from the old adjustable CAS sensor to separate cam / crank angle sensors. Now the harness isn't getting voltage. No idea why.
-Clutch master cylinder doesn't want to work now. No idea why.
Until next time!
